Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study project is to clarify whether defined practical application skills are learned by anesthesiology specialists through a self-directed learning program with learning videos and a hands-on exercise station ("intervention group"). "Control group" is a traditional instructor-led practical workshop classroom teaching. Hypothesis: A video-based and self-directed learning program shows no difference in the learning successes than traditional face-to-face workshops.


Clinical Trial Description

The Department of Anaesthesiology and Pain Medicine is going to buy and introduce a new generation of anaesthetic machines. Therefore the whole clinical staff of the department who will operate the new anaesthetic machine in the future must be educated and trained with this device before working with patients. Continuous professional training in the use of medical devices is an essential part of developing professional skills, including in anaesthesia. The professional, routine use of devices is essential to guarantee patient safety. The usual instructor-led workshop-based equipment training in face-to-face lessons is time-consuming and resource-intensive. The high work intensity and shift work in anaesthesia pose a challenge for such training courses. Video-supported learning sequences were more effective than traditional face-to-face lessons, especially for procedural - cognitive processes of complex psychomotor skills. Self-controlled practical practice is more effective than externally controlled practice conditions. The aim of this study is to clarify whether defined practical application skills (anaesthetic machine) are learned by anesthesiology specialists (nurses and physicians of the department) through a self-directed learning program with learning videos and a hands-on exercise station ("intervention group"). "Control group" is a traditional instructor-led practical workshop classroom teaching. • The null hypothesis (H0) is that a video-based and self-directed learning program shows no difference in the learning success than traditional face-to-face workshops The aim of this study is to clarify whether anesthesiologists and nurses anaesthetists can learn defined practical application skills through a self-directed learning program with learning videos and a hands-on training station. If this educational research project is able to demonstrate that self-guided learning of complex psychomotor skills needed for the handling of medical devices like respirators is non-inferior to traditional classroom teaching of such skills, this might minimize the dependence on traditional educator-driven resource-intensive workshop teaching and has the potential to change clinical teaching in the future. The educational topic of the study is "device training in the hospital sector". A randomized controlled comparative study with two groups (face-to-face workshop versus video-based self-directed learning) in a non-inferiority design is planned, assuming a non-inferior success rate of the traditional face-to-face workshop of 80% and a non-inferiority range of 10%. According to a sample size calculation, 224 voluntary participants are needed. ;
